Listen "The Forgotten Gold Medalist"
Episode Synopsis
In a small town in the north of France, stands a statue - a monument honouring a fallen hero. A plaque carries the name of a soldier, but this isn't a regular war memorial. It recognises a once forgotten Australian champion athlete who embodied sportsmanship and made history. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
